As of 2 years ago when I left the position of Director of Waterfront Operations and Training at KP we were using that matrix to count midshipmen sea time, and it had been pretty recently implemented. Midshipmen at all schools are getting 1.5 day when underway. For mids who were short days we would sometimes do overnight trips on training vessels over 75 tons from 1600-0800 which count as 3 days. I'm quite sure this is still the policy today.

I was thinking the time constraints on the state schools and the costs for operating the school ships at sea as being a factor. I understand the theory that one is spending a larger part of their day learning on a schoolship, but while I have never made a schoolship cruise, I have spent quite a bit of time on the old TEXAS CLIPPER carrying out Class Surveys and it seems that there is as much, uh, "hijinks" as there is training. . . . .
Is that on a commercial vessel or training ship? Do most cadets still get 300 actual days on commercial vessels?
1.5 days only on training ships. Not sure how it works for cadets assigned to vessels that can count 12 hrs days as I never had to deal with that- I would assume the could get 1.5 like the rest of the crew. Regular commercial days are 1:1.

You must be on a 2-watch system and be stand 12 hours of watch to receive 1.5:1 time. 8 hours of watch and 4 hours of OT or 12 hours of day work is count is counted as 1:1.
